Practice Team

Training practice

Trainees

This Practice is part of the Derbyshire GP Specialty Training Programme, which provides training for our future GPs.  These doctors spend time in general practice at various stages throughout their final 3 years of training, ranging from a 4 month placement in each of the first four years, to a 12 month placement in their final year.  The trainees are closley supervised at all times by our current partners.

Students

At times we also have medical students from both Nottingham and Derby Medical Schools attached to the Practice to gain firsthand experience of general practice.  It is very valuable experience for them to sit in during your consultation with the doctor.  However, if you would prefer them not to be present then please let the receptionist or doctor know.

We do have a leaflet on reception that explains more about students in the Practice.  Please ask for more information.

GP net earnings

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in The Park Surgery in the last financial year was £94,674 before tax and national insurance.  This is for 6 part time GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.

However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earning is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgment about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
